C9300L-48T-4G-E - Cisco Switch with 48-port , Network Essentials

Choose the E tier deliberately

The exact Cisco ordering entry for C9300L-48T-4G-E specifies Network Essentials. A C9300L-48T-4G-A quotation instead selects Network Advantage on the corresponding port profile. Confirm which network software tier your deployment requires and retain the E suffix in the purchase record; identical physical ports do not make these order codes interchangeable.

Separate entitlement evidence from the chassis label

Cisco places the included, perpetual Network Stack license in a different category from Cisco DNA or Catalyst term subscriptions. The applicable new-order workflow calls for a separate subscription selection. This E part number alone cannot tell a buyer the purchased term, renewal date, activation status or rights associated with a resale serial number. Request the actual subscription line and license-account evidence rather than deriving them from the hardware name.

Plan a data-only access layer

The 48 RJ-45 connections negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and provide data connectivity without PoE. Where phones or wireless access points need port power, verify their independent power arrangement or choose the appropriate PoE model. The uplink side contains four fixed 1-Gigabit SFP positions; it is not a removable uplink-module chassis or the 4X uplink variant. Transceivers and matching optical cabling need their own supported configuration and supply check.

Inspect the delivered assembly

The manufacturer’s base C9300L-48T-4G hardware row identifies StackWise-320 and a 350 WAC power supply. Check the assemblies installed in the offered unit, including any second supply and regional power cords. For a planned stack, reconcile adapters and cables with the order: the C9300L-STACK-KIT entry contains two adapters and one cable, and the default ordering cable is 50 cm. A default option is not evidence of accessories included with this listing.
